Blog postHaving a horse can be an expensive hobby at the best of times. And right now, with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic affecting many businesses and employees, is not the best of times! It's easy for horses and ponies to seem like a bottomless pit into which you tip your money. But it is possible to make your dollars go further and still maintain your horse's health and welfare.
Maybe one of the money-saving tips in our handy infographic below will help you to stretch your dollars fur -
Blog postI learned that authority, like Nature (and probably because it is Nature), abhors a vacuum. I quickly realised that either I would be in charge, or my pony would be in charge. I became a benevolent dictator at a young age. We were both happy with the arrangement. Joanne Verikios

Blog postLessons from horses: be aware of your surroundings. You can be sure that your horse is noticing every little thing. You need to be observant too, so you can choose all the things it is wise for you and your horse to be perfectly relaxed about. You'll both have a nicer outing that way!

Blog postThomas Stearns Eliot OM (1888 - 1965), was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor.

one verse, the universe.
You, we, are the universe.
We are. We. Are -

Blog postClick the picture to download the Winning Horsemanship 2020 Calendar This time of the year means many things to different people.
In addition to the usual end of year celebrations and traditions, I like to think of December-January as a time for reflection and planning. This is especially appropriate as we move into the second decade of this century. With the added twist of 2020 often being used to describe excellent vision, it's the perfect time to revise your dreams, plans and goa -
Blog postThe original version of this article by Joanne Verikios was published in Equestrian Country Magazine, Issue 7, Winter 2019
as "How To Prepare Your Horse For An Emergency".
Images courtesy of Canva.com My Country by Dorothea Mackellar is a stirring poem that shows an awed but philosophical acceptance of the beauty and terror of nature. As I write this, parts of Dorothea's country - my country - are again being wracked by floods, starved by drought and destroyed by bushfires -
